Acne not only diminishes self-esteem, but can also lead to permanent scarring. If you don't want to use topical or oral medication, you have other options. Natural cures for acne from the kitchen are simple and easy to whip up. They are based on Eastern medicine and ayurveda.
1. Get more quality sleep. When you get enough sleep everyday, your immune system is at its best. Other than that, you will be able to reduce stress and control hormone secretion.
2. Wash your face at least twice a day with a mild cleanser. Use a pH-balanced cleanser without perfumes or too many chemical additives.
3. Pure aloe vera has been useful in treating acne prone skin and can be used as a tincture too. As a bonus, it may help reduce the appearance of scars. Aloe contains natural vitamin C and other phytonutrients that improve the texture and appearance of skin. Aloe has been used for centuries to heal wounds and burns.
4. Don't forget about that glass of water. Water is required to flush away the harmful toxins and moisturize the skin.
5. But it's not just junk food that causes acne and eczema. There are many other foods that mainstream opinion considers to be healthy which are in fact most probably a big factor behind your skin problems. Many people find that when they cut out all dairy and grain products that their skin becomes much healthier after a few weeks and soon is completely clear.
6. Try using herbs. Saw palmetto can help balance boys' hormones, while chaste tree berry can do the same for girls. Echinacea, alfalfa, burdock root, cayenne, chaparral and yellow dock root are also helpful.
7. Apply the tincture with a fresh 100 percent cotton ball or pad right out of the package. Do not use the cotton ball or pad if it has been exposed to any other surface besides freshly washed fingertips. This will prevent any unwanted bacteria from finding their way onto the skin and causing bigger problems.
8. Consider other topical mixtures. Beat an egg yolk, apply it with a cotton ball and leave it on for 15 minutes. Alternatively, mix oatmeal and honey together to form a paste and apply it to your face. Oatmeal soaks up excess oil and honey soothes the skin.
